The Durham Blues and Brews Festival is the main fund raising effort of the Exchange Club of Greater Durham, a service-oriented civic club. In 2015 we set out to create a unique music festival experience that served only NC craft beer with proceeds benefiting the Durham community. The primary focus of organizations receiving our funds is the prevention of child abuse. And, we’ve succeeded! We completed our 5th festival before the pandemic forced a pause, but we are back in 2022. The total contributed to local Durham charities and programs so far has exceeded $157,000 and we’re not stopping here. There is so much need in our community.
